"We have just started a new season and you can join any time,” Ireland said.

"Bring a team or just bring yourself and we will find you a team.”

Ireland said the competitions run on weeknights with the opportunity for players to step into Premier Leagues if the want to test themselves in a more serious standard of contest.
